An associative classifier (AC) is a kind of supervised learning model that uses association rules to assign a target value. The term associative classification was coined by Bing Liu et al., [1] in which the authors defined a model made of rules "whose right-hand side are restricted to the classification class attribute".
Instance selection (or dataset reduction, or dataset condensation) is an important data pre-processing step that can be applied in many machine learning (or data mining) tasks. [1] Approaches for instance selection can be applied for reducing the original dataset to a manageable volume, leading to a reduction of the computational resources that ...
As most tree based algorithms use linear splits, using an ensemble of a set of trees works better than using a single tree on data that has nonlinear properties (i.e. most real world distributions). Working well with non-linear data is a huge advantage because other data mining techniques such as single decision trees do not handle this as well.
A common practice in data mining is to classify, to look at the attributes of an object or situation and make a guess at what category the observed item belongs to.As new evidence is examined (typically by feeding a training set to a learning algorithm), these guesses are refined and improved.
An example calibration plot. Calibration can be assessed using a calibration plot (also called a reliability diagram). [3] [5] A calibration plot shows the proportion of items in each class for bands of predicted probability or score (such as a distorted probability distribution or the "signed distance to the hyperplane" in a support vector ...
In machine learning, one-class classification (OCC), also known as unary classification or class-modelling, tries to identify objects of a specific class amongst all objects, by primarily learning from a training set containing only the objects of that class, [1] although there exist variants of one-class classifiers where counter-examples are used to further refine the classification boundary.
Relational data mining is the data mining technique for relational databases. [1] Unlike traditional data mining algorithms, which look for patterns in a single table (propositional patterns), relational data mining algorithms look for patterns among multiple tables (relational patterns). For most types of propositional patterns, there are ...
C4.5 is an algorithm used to generate a decision tree developed by Ross Quinlan. [1] C4.5 is an extension of Quinlan's earlier ID3 algorithm.The decision trees generated by C4.5 can be used for classification, and for this reason, C4.5 is often referred to as a statistical classifier.
